And, as with many of the extra challenges in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, like Korok Seeds or armor upgrades, hearts and stamina are likely intended more to facilitate a player's journey than to be fully maxed out. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has 30 hearts in total and 27 that players need to obtain by completing shrines. This Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Max Health Guide will help players understand the new system and the best way to increase their health and stamina pool to survive against tougher enemies. While the missing hearts or stamina might be annoying to completionists, TOTK has plenty of ways to circumvent the limits, such as temporary hearts and stamina from cooking or resting at inns or exchanging upgrades between the two stats at the Horned Statue below Lookout Landing.

On the other hand, however, getting every health and stamina upgrade in TOTK does bring players closer to the game's caps, being only two upgrades short as opposed to the base game of BOTW's three. When you pray to the Goddess you can spend four Spirit Orbs and choose between one additional heart container or more stamina. While a potential future DLC may allow players to finally max out on both stats at once, it is worth noting that even with Breath of the Wild's extra Spirit Orbs from The Champion 's Ballad, both hearts and stamina still couldn't be maxed out - meaning that more TOTK content won't necessarily bring enough resources for players to fully max out.
